Chapter 130 A boy named Dogdan
What a madman!!
Zhao Laosan looked at Zhou Zhenwen who was munching on locusts on the high platform, and the whole person was stupid!!
How can anyone eat locusts?
Isn't this thing poisonous?
Can this be eaten?
He doesn't want to die?
A high-ranking official from the capital, I'm afraid he is not a madman!!
This idea is not only in Zhao Laosan's mind, almost all the people present think that Zhou Zhenwen is crazy!!
"People must think I'm crazy!!"
"Eating poisonous locusts?"
"But actually, I said that grasshoppers are non-poisonous, and even I've done experiments and have been eating them, and it's all right!!"
"This time I came to Qingzhou, in addition to distributing relief food, there is another point, that is, to promote the trading market of grasshopper products, in short, to encourage everyone to eat grasshoppers and use grasshoppers to do business."
"The non-poison of grasshoppers will be endorsed by the imperial court, not only will I eat it today, but Her Royal Highness the princess, and the officials of Qingzhou City will eat it!!"
"Come on, send it to your lordships and Her Royal Highness the Princess!!"
Zhou Zhenwen opened his mouth and commanded.
"Yes." Xiao Si hurriedly beckoned his subordinates and asked them to send them to the officials of Qingzhou City and the eldest princess Huaizhen.
The officials of Qingzhou City looked at the locusts in front of them, and their hearts were also filled with nausea, this ugly-looking insect would be delicious?
No, it should be said, are you sure it's not poisonous?
The officials of Qingzhou City still have some scruples in their hearts.
Thorn history Chen Jia knew that it was not enough for Zhou Zhenwen to take the lead, he, the Thorn History of Qingzhou, also had to play a role, so he took the initiative to speak: "Grasshoppers are good things!" Grasshoppers that can be eaten are a beautiful thing!! ”
"Lord Zhou invites you to eat, and you still blame each other!!"
"It's chilling!!"
After saying that, Chen Jia stiffened his head, opened his mouth, chewed the grasshopper a few times, and then swallowed it, and said with a smile: "It's fragrant and crispy, it's really an overseas delicacy!" It tastes so good! ”
Seeing that Chen Jia was smiling, the other Qingzhou City officials also squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and echoed: "That's right! Haven't you tasted overseas food yet? ”
"Be sure to savor it!!"
"Come on, come on, let's be together, we're together!!"
"Let's go, let's go!!"
Under mutual supervision, several officials devoured locusts one after another.
One of the Qingzhou officials didn't dare to chew it, and swallowed it in one gulp, looking a little funny.
Seeing this, Chen Jia picked up a grasshopper, stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Why are you eating so fast?" Taste it!! ”
"Woo woo woo ......" The official's face was pale, but when he saw Chen Jia's warning and threatening eyes, he still forced out a smile and chewed hard.
"Hmm." Chen Jia nodded with satisfaction.
The eldest princess Huaizhen looked at the roasted yellowed grasshopper, picked up the locust unhurriedly, put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.
The movements are graceful and the demeanor is calm, as if a trivial matter is being carried out.
The temperament of the royal princess was immediately revealed.
The people under the high stage were dumbfounded.
High-ranking officials in the capital eat!
Qingzhou Thorn History Chen Jia eats!
Other officials eat too!!
Even Her Royal Highness the princess ate it?
This, this, this......
The people have also begun to believe that locusts, oh not grasshoppers can be eaten!!
"Come, prepare a little rice for you, add grasshoppers, and give everyone a taste."
"If you are willing to eat, go over there to get a bag of rice, and if you don't want to eat, after eating this bowl of rice, you can leave."
After Zhou Zhenwen finished saying the distribution rules, he threw the megaphone in his hand into the arms of his subordinates, walked to the chair and sat down, and continued to eat locusts.
Hearing Zhou Zhenwen's words, the people instantly blew up!!
"What?"
"We're going to eat locusts too?"
"Otherwise, you can only eat a bowl of rice and leave?"
"How can this be?"
"Protest! We are going to protest!! ”
Many people became angry, and just said that they wanted to take us to get rich together, why did they become like this in a blink of an eye?
Not even handing out relief food?
Is there still a royal law?
Is there still a law?
"Protest! We want to go to Beijing to sue the royal court!! ”
"Corrupt officials, traitorous ministers, and corrupt the relief food of the imperial court, you will be struck by light!!"
"We want relief food, we want food!!"
Many street slickers hidden among the people were instantly anxious and kept arching the fire, hoping to coerce public opinion to change Zhou Zhenwen's approach!!
"Lord Chen, go and arrange, let the officers and soldiers suppress it, if you are willing to eat, take it to eat, and if you don't want to, you will leave!!" Zhou Zhenwen's tone was cold and ordered.
"Yes." Chen Jia felt in his heart, he almost forgot that the person in front of him was not a good stubble.
To be able to beat other cabinet scholars at this age and become the head of the cabinet who leans towards the government and the opposition, how can he be a kind person?
Under Chen Jia's order, many officers and soldiers who were stubborn and stubborn surrounded the people, and their sharp spears were aimed at them, as if the next moment, they would rush up and kill all these people!!
"Tell them that if they are willing to eat, they will line up, and if they eat grasshoppers, they can take a bag of rice, and if they don't eat it, they will leave after eating." Zhou Zhenwen ordered.
"Yes." Chen Jia nodded and told the people what Zhou Zhenwen meant.
The officers and soldiers on one side are stubborn, and on the other side is rice, anyone will choose!!
Soon, a long line appeared, and the people began to line up quietly.
Many people chose to finish the rice and turn away.
After all, life is the most precious, and they don't dare to gamble!!
"Zhou Shoufu, how many people do you think will choose to believe it?" The eldest princess Huaizhen looked at this scene and asked.
Zhou Zhenwen looked at the long queue while eating the locusts, and said softly: "Now only one pioneer is needed, as long as there is the first one who is willing to try and gamble, the follow-up people will choose to eat." ”
"Using such a forceful method to make them eat is afraid that it will arouse their resistance." The eldest princess Huaizhen also knew the intention of Zhou Zhenwen's methods, but she was also worried that the people would rebel.
"We don't have much time, so we have to race against the clock."
"I don't have time to create a market little by little, teach them how to do business, and use heavy drugs in troubled times, this time is both a temptation and a screening!" Zhou Zhenwen said calmly.
"I've given them the opportunity, it's up to them to see if they can catch it!!"
"Screening?" The eldest princess Huaizhen was a little puzzled.
"It's very simple, I also need people who set up stalls to sell roasted grasshoppers, I also need people who do trust, and I also need people who sell live grasshoppers in the market, and these people are the people who help me complete the first step of the plan." Zhou Zhenwen explained.
"I see." The eldest princess Huaizhen immediately guessed Zhou Zhenwen's intentions, "Does Zhou Shoufu want to let these people who dare to eat locusts become part of the locust's business plan?" It's up to them to stir up the market of Qingzhou City? ”
"Not bad!" Zhou Zhenwen nodded, "Singing!" There must be someone to sing! What's better to sing than a local? ”
"Familiar faces, always easy to believe!!"
When Zhou Zhenwen was chatting with the eldest princess Huaizhen, an anxious male voice sounded.
"What are you doing? Spit it out, spit it out!! ”
"This thing is poisonous, you can't eat it!!"
Zhou Zhenwen and the eldest princess Huaizhen looked at the soup kitchen, only to see an old man pulling a young man, constantly pulling, desperately shouting, and asking the other party to spit things out.
"Woooooooooo......oo No, no, I'm going to eat, I'm going to bring food back to my sister, if she doesn't eat, she's going to starve to death!! The young man named Goudan broke free from his father-in-law's hand and shouted, "Uncle Hui, just let me eat it!" I beg you!! ”
After saying that, the dog knelt down directly and kowtowed a few times to Uncle Hui, and blood came out of his forehead.
The dog's eyes were firm, staring at Uncle Hui.
Uncle Hui also knew that he couldn't persuade the dog, so he sighed: "That's it, that's it, let it be!" ”
"Thank you, Uncle Hui!" The dog smiled, stood up, grabbed another locust, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said excitedly to the person who distributed the food in front of him: "I have a seriously ill sister at home, I can eat two, no...... No, no, no, I can eat three or four, can you give me two bags of rice!! ”
"This ......" the payout officer was also very embarrassed, "this is not in accordance with the rules!" A person can only have one bag of rice, that's the rule!! ”
"Ah......" Goudan showed a disappointed expression, "is it really not good?" ”
"There's really no way to ......," the grain officer said helplessly.
"Okay, I got it." Goudan took the rice, took a few bites, and put it in his pocket, obviously he wanted to bring it back to his sister to eat.
"Look, the person I want is here!" A smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Zhenwen's mouth, and he ordered: "Little Si, send someone to follow him, and then send you a bag of rice." ”
"Yes, sir." Xiao Si hurriedly instructed his subordinates to arrange this matter.
The eldest princess Huaizhen looked at the young man's disappointed back and muttered, "He is desperate." ”
"A teenager in a desperate situation...... When there is no way out, people often burst out with unimaginable power, and he is a suitable person for himself and for his seriously ill sister. Zhou Zhenwen commented.
"Hopefully he can have a good ending." The eldest princess Huaizhen sighed.
"Yes." Zhou Zhenwen said calmly.
